Cagliari, 3 January (AKI) - Police on Friday arrested an unemployed Tunisian immigrant on suspicion of stalking his Italian ex-girlfriend for nearly two years and threatening to cut off her head, reports said.

Police arrested 36-year-old Valid Smiri, as he tried to climb over a gate and enter his ex-girlfriend's apartment building in the town of Quartu, near Cagliari, the Unione Sarda newspaper reported.

Witnesses said Smiri was shouting: "I'll kill you, I am an Arab, you don't know me. Even if they arrest me, I'll come back and kill you. I'll cut off your head!"As police led him away, Smiri also railed against the Italian government.

The 47-year-old woman ended a three-month relationship with Smiri in 2012, a decision he had refused to accept.

She reported Smiri to police three times after he kept bombarding her with phone-calls and text messages begging her to get back together with him or else, investigators said.

He also hung around outside the woman's apartment building and hurled insults at her and threatened to kill her each time he saw her go in or out, saying she was "his", according to investigators.

Here again, our Islamic superiors teach us about respect, interfaith dialogue and tolerance. But first and foremost, as President Barack Hussein schools us, "respect it," kuffar!

ITALY: Moroccan Muslims rob a church, then defecate and urinate on its altar BNI, July 28, 2013 (thanks to TROP)

First they gained entry to the rectory of Libiola and stole the money collected by the children of Grest, and then, still not happy, they entered the nearby church, which, since last year’s earthquake, is a simple tensile structure made of plastic and defecated and urinated next to the altar.

This was a contemptuous act of vandalism and sacrilege. The culprits were identified, because a woman saw them coming out of the tent. They were four boys of Moroccan origin, one resident in Serravalle, the others from Ostiglia and surroundings.

The incident happened on Thursday afternoon, but the parish priest, Father Eugenio Ferrari, has only yesterday made an official complaint to the police. That day the parish house of Libiola, inhabited by two nuns, was empty and locked because the sisters, along with the parish priest, had gone on a trip with the children of the Grest on a day trip to a mountain resort.

It's all there, everything we warn of and are smeared for: applauding the recent fatal attack on a British
soldier in London and a copycat stabbing of a French soldier in
Paris. "There can be no peace with us," the devout Muslim said.
The 20-year-old Muslim reportedly told police he had
"hated the West" and vowed to
"die for Allah."

The jihadist, Anas El Abboudi, "was planning other attacks in other
parts of Italy as well as France, police said.
He and the recruits were 'united by a common hatred of Jews
and a desire to fight against Western countries.'"

It is exactly what every other jihadist says, chapter and verse. How could so many millions of Muslims "misunderstand" the teachings of Islam in exactly the same way?

Rome, June 12 - Police in Brescia near Milan on
Wednesday arrested the alleged head of the Italian branch of a
Belgium-based Islamist organisation on suspicion of planning
attacks in the northern Italian city.

Anas El Abboubi, alias 'Anas Abdu Shakur', born in Morocco
in 1992 and living with his family near Brescia since 1999, had
allegedly scouted out two targets on Google Maps, Brescia's
train station and its main military barracks, police said.
Police said they intercepted an email to foreign members of
the organisation applauding the recent fatal attack on a British
soldier in London and a copycat stabbing of a French soldier in
Paris.

"There can be no peace with us," he allegedly said.
The 20-year-old Moroccan reportedly told police he had
"hated the West" since being "taunted as a member of the Taliban
after the September 11 attacks in America" and recently vowed to
"die for Allah".

El Abboubi was also becoming increasingly interested in
Syrian Islamist fighting against the regime there and had
recruited others to join him in supporting their cause,
travelling to Syria if necessary.
As well as Brescia, he was planning other attacks in other
parts of Italy as well as France, police said.
He and the recruits were "united by a common hatred of Jews
and a desire to fight against Western countries," a police
spokesman said.

"Via the Web, the Moroccan passed on translations of
jihadist literature and acquired instructions on using
explosives, weapons and fighting techniques," he said.
Police seized papers written by El Abboubi "including
verses in which he sings the praises of jihad against Italy and
France and leaves a sort of spiritual testament containing a
collection of his translations about the legitimacy of holy
war," the spokesman said.

During the six months he had been under surveillance before
his arrest, police said, he also reportedly made no secret of
his admiration for a compatriot, Mohamed Jarmoune, arrested in
March 2012 and sentenced last month to five years and four
months in jail on terrorism charges.

El Abboubi recently set up the Italian chapter of the
Web-based Sharia4 organisation, a movement started in Belgium in
2010 and inspired by the jihadist preacher Omar Bakri, police
said.
Sharia4 has been banned in several European countries.

El Abboubi was arrested at his home in the small town of
Vobarno outside Brescia on suspicion of training terrorists and
inciting religious and racist hatred, police said.
Another two people are under investigation on suspicion of
committing the same crimes.
Police had been watching El Abboubi around the clock, and
picked him up while he was on his way to take his school-leaving
certificate.
Anti-terrorism police also searched the homes of four
Moroccans near Brescia, 100 km east of Milan, and around
Pordenone, a city in northeastern Italy.

He had had enough of the "decadence of western morals." And we have had enough of the Islamic supremacism of that vicious ideology.

"Italy: Muslim Attacks Sex Shop Then Shouts About the Glory of Islam"Islam vs. Europe (thanks to all the Atlas readers who sent this in)

He had had enough of the "decadence of western morals". So the "young
North African" put an enormous paving stone into his rucksack. In
mid-afternoon, he went to throw it through the window of the sex shop
"Sex appeal" in Bolzano, in Trentino-Alto Adige. He then remained,
calmly awaiting the arrival of the police "while shouting about the
glory of Islam". Between shouts, he puffed on his cigarette.

The manager, Giovanni Lo Iacono, is still terrified of it: "It was 5.30
pm on Friday afternoon, I was chilling inside the ship when I heard a
terrible crash and I saw the shop window explode. At first I though a
car had smashed into it. If the rock had fallen on my head, it would
have killed me."

"Outside," he said, "the street was full of people. The shop window
might also have fallen on someone. It's very heavy, made with
anti-burglary double glazing. We needed a crane to install it."

ROME - A 22-year-old Moroccan man has been sentenced
to more than five years in prison for planning terrorist attacks on
Milan’s main synagogue and Jewish school.

The five year and four month sentence against Mohamed Jarmoune was handed down by a court in Brescia on Thursday.

Italian
media said the sentence was more than the four years asked by the
public prosecutor. Jarmoune, who has lived in Italy since childhood, was
arrested in Brescia in March 2012.

Investigators found documents
on his computer analyzing the security measures of Milan’s main
synagogue. He was also suspected of planning attacks and organizing
terrorist groups through internet social network sites.

Muslim women need an underground network in order when they leave their devout husbands. they need a new name, a safehouse, a new life.

"Unveiled: Moroccan Muslim Slits the Throats of His Two Children to Punish His Wife"Sharia Unveiled (thanks to Armaros)

Investigators on the scene of the crime (USA Today) (Translated to English from Italian)

A stormy relationship come to an end now. He apparently could not
stand the habits of his wife, including the fact that she had decided
not to wear her veil in the tradition of women in their country. This is
the scenario in which you acquired the tragedy in the province of
Perugia. The victims were the couple’s two children, Ahmed, 8, and his
sister Jiahane of 12 years. The father Mustafa Hajjaji, a Moroccan of 44
years of age, murdered them by sliting their throats with a knife.

Mustafa Hajjaj (Ansa)

CLOSED IN BATHROOM – Everything would be completed on Tuesday evening
in the bathroom of the house where the children lived with their
mother. There, at least the police have found the bodies of lifeless
Ahmed and Jiahane. Were huddled on the ground both with a deep cut to
the throat. The father instead attempted suicide by slashing his wrists
and acquiring other wounds to the abdomen and chest but managed to
survive. He is currently hospitalized in intensive care hospital in
Città di Castello, and is still out of danger after.

WRITTEN BY BLOOD – In the house of the tragedy have been found some
written in Arabic with the blood even if the content is difficult to
read. Also found a sheet with other written with a pen, also in this
case incomprehensible. Investigators still seek to decipher and
translate them to see if they can help to clarify the background of the
tragedy. It is not excluded that it might be messages left by the
Moroccan to explain the double murder and his suicide.

ALARM THE WIFE – Tuesday night was the same Mustafa Hajjaji to
trigger the alarm with a call to his wife, who works in a restaurant,
during which he announced the intention to call it quits. And the woman
was readily activated by calling the rescue because they were marked
with straight home former partner. But at home they did not find anyone.
Continuing the investigation, also by examining cell phone hooked from
the Moroccan, they discovered that the man could be in the house of the
former wife. Having forced the door they found the tragedy. In the
bathroom there were the bodies of two children and the dying man but
still alive. Not far from the knife with which he killed his two
children to punish his wife that he had decided to leave him.

REPORTED FOR ABUSE – Just a month ago, the Moroccan has already been
denounced by the companion threats, injuries and ill-treatment. The
34-year old woman had told the police in Citta di Castello, her husband
had also pointed a knife. In the past, the man would have even
threatened his companion for the fact that she was no longer wearing the
veil. Conditions now the attention of the prosecutor Mario Formisano
coordinating the investigation. “It’s a terrible tragedy that has
shocked the community of deep-Umbertide says the mayor of Umbertide,
Giampiero Giulietti-What happened is inconceivable two innocent people
have been killed in what should be the safest place, its home, and to
come at the hands of those whose job to love them and protect them. “

Rome (dpa) - Police in Italy on Monday arrested a man and carried out searches in several cities and towns in an operation targeting suspected Muslim extremists who post and share militant propaganda on the internet, media reports said.

The man, who was detained in the central city of Pesaro, was described as a 28-year-old Italian citizen who had converted to Islam, the ANSA news agency said.

Police searches also took place in Milan, Palermo, Cagliari, Cuneo and Salerno.

The operation was linked to the arrest last month in the northern city of Brescia of a Morrocan [Muslim] man who authorities believe may have been planning or inciting a possible attack on a synagogue in Milan.

Detailed photographs and maps of the Jewish house of worship were reportedly found on the man‘s computer.

The jihad against the Jews is commanded by the quran. Islamic Jew-hatred. Obama say, "respect it!"

You'll notice that the media uses the term "Moroccan" as code for Muslim (i.e. "Asian," "youth," "immigrant," "immigrant youth," all codespeak in the media for Muslim). Suspect is 20 years old, born in Morocco, but has lived in Italy since he was 6 years old.

A 40-year-old woman was arrested in a London terror raid today as Scotland Yard investigated an alleged secret Facebook plot to blow up an Italian synagogue.

Police swooped on her South London home before dawn and she has been held for questioning over extremist material posted online.

Italian detectives said she may have been in contact with a 20-year-old Moroccan accused of making a 'detailed plan' for a terror attack on the Via della Guastalla in Milan.

'Target': Italian detectives believe the woman may have been in contact with a man involved in an alleged terror plot to attack Via Della Guastalla synagogue in Milan

The man arrested in Brescia, northern Italy, was using his 'exceptional' computer skills to create 'super-secret' groups on Facebook to plot the atrocity, according to Italian police.

Officers in London said they were liaising with their Italian counterparts to establish any links, but the woman is not thought to be directly involved in the alleged attack plot.

She was held under Section 58 of the Terrorism Act on suspicion of 'possessing a document or record containing information of a kind likely to be useful to a person committing or preparing an act of terrorism.'

Suspect: Mohamed Jarmoune is suspected of setting up hidden Facebook groups that could be accessed only through a complicated system of controls

The Moroccan suspect is thought to have created groups on the social network site that could be accessed only through a complicated system of controls, said Italian police.

Officers in Brescia said the man had been living in the province since the age of six and 'had the job of training people in the use of weapons and explosives for terror operations'.

'The woman was arrested in south London at about 4.30am and taken to a local police station where she remains in custody.

'A search warrant was executed at a residential premises in connection with the arrest, and a search continues.'

Italian police allegedly found a document saved on the arrested man's computer 'noting every detail in view of the planned attack on the Milan synagogue: security measures that were in place, police on duty, possible obstacles and possible access routes'.

The officers said in a statement: 'In this online arena, members could share instructions on how to assemble explosive devices, what chemical ingredients could be bought and the use of weapons.

In a video of two European engineers who were kidnapped in Nigeria, the hostages say their kidnappers are from Al Qaeda,

In May, two engineers, one British and one Italian, were kidnapped in Kebbi, a city in Northwestern Nigeria near the borders with Benin and Niger (map). Commentators speculated about the kidnappers – was it Boko Haram, the Muslim militant sect that operates primarily in the country’s Northeast? Was it Al Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb (AQIM), which has kidnapped Westerners in Mauritania, Mali, Niger, and North Africa, but never before in Nigeria? Or was it a local criminal group? The latter was my own suspicion at the time, but for a time there was practically no information about the incident.

All the latest developments after a British hostage Chris McManus was killed in a Special Forces operation to free him from al-Qaeda aligned kidnappers in Nigeria.

18.16 In a video received by a Mauritanian news agency and seen by the AFP news agency in December, masked gunmen threatened to execute the British hostage if their demands were not met.

The Mauritanian agency claimed that the captors belong to a Nigerian group inspired by Al-Qaeda. Mr Cameron has not specified the identify of the kidnappers. The Italian government also confirmed that the two hostages were dead.

18.10 The Foreign Office has released a statement from Mr McManus' family.

Our son Chris was abducted in northern Nigeria on 12 May last year. As a family, we are of course devastated by the news of Chris’ death which we received earlier today. During this ordeal we have relied heavily on the support of our family and friends which has never waned and has enabled us to get through the most difficult of times.

We are also aware of the many people who were working to try and have Chris returned to our family, and his girlfriend. We would like to thank all of them for their efforts.

We knew Chris was in an extremely dangerous situation. However we knew that everything that could be done was being done. Our thoughts are also of course with the loved ones of Chris’ colleague, Franco Lamolinara, who are also coming to terms with this truly sad news.

We now need time to grieve and come to terms with our loss. We would therefore be grateful if you would respect our privacy at this most difficult of times.

18.09 Chris McManus is from the north west of England. In December last year, a Nigerian group calling itself "Al Qaida in the land beyond the Sahil" announced it had captured Mr McManus.

It released a hostage video to Nouakchott News Agency claiming it had kidnapped the Briton and showed a blindfolded and bearded man in an orange vest. Three men in dark clothing stood behind him armed with rifles and a machete.

It was reported that the man pictured in the video called for the British Government to respond to the demands of the group, so they would spare his life.

He also asked for the British people to pressure the Government to answer the demands of the group so he could return to his family.

18.06 The Foreign Office say the family will be issuing a statement shortly.

18.05 More details from Nick Squires in Rome on what the men were doing in Nigeria.

Mr Lamolinara had worked in Nigeria for around 11 years. He was an engineer from a large construction company called Stabilini Visinoni Limited. He was helping to build a bank in the town of Birnin Kebbi, the capital of the state of Kebbi, in the extreme north-west of Nigeria, close to the border with Nigeria. Mr McManus, also an engineer, was working for the same company, according to Italian reports.

18.02 There have been a number of foreigners kidnapped while working in Nigeria in recent years.

In September 2008 two Britons were held by the Movement for the Emancipation of Niger Delta. A Scottish oil worker was abducted and his guard killed in April 2009, in the Rivers State capital Port Harcourt.

Three Britons and a Colombian were kidnapped in January 2010 and in November of the same year, four men from the US, Canada and France were taken 7.5 miles offshore on the Okoro field.

In January last year two French hostages were kidnapped from Niamey, the capital of neighbouring Niger to Nigeria's north.

The failed rescue attempt by British special forces to rescue a Briton and Italian held captive in Nigeria is an illustration of the high stakes involved in mounting an operation of this kind. David Cameron clearly took a big gamble when he ordered the rescue attempt, and even though it failed he is to be congratulated for at least having the guts to give it the go-ahead.

17.57 The Italian newspaper Corriere della Sera has splashed its website with the headline that says "Raid in Nigeria, Italian hostage killed. The operation by British special forces ends in tragedy. British hostage also killed."

17.55 It is not immediately clear when the men were killed and Mr Cameron's statement did not specify whether the rescue attempt was underway when the murders took place.

17.53 Mr Cameron said he had authorised the failed rescue bid after receiving information on their location and that their lives were in imminent danger.

He said:

Chris McManus, a British citizen, was taken hostage by terrorists in Northern Nigeria in May 2011. He was taken hostage with his colleague, an Italian national, Franco Lamolinara.

Since then, we have been working closely with the Nigerian authorities to try to find Chris and Franco, and to secure their release.

The terrorists holding the two hostages made very clear threats to take their lives, including in a video that was posted on the internet. After months of not knowing where they were being held, we received credible information about their location.

A window of opportunity arose to secure their release. We also had reason to believe that their lives were under imminent and growing danger.

Preparations were made to mount an operation to attempt to rescue Chris and Franco. Together with the Nigerian Government, today I authorised it to go ahead, with UK support.

It is with great regret that I have to say that both Chris and Franco have lost their lives. We are still awaiting confirmation of the details, but the early indications are clear that both men were murdered by their captors, before they could be rescued.

Our immediate thoughts must be with Chris and Franco's families, and we offer them our sincerest condolences. Both families have endured a terrible ordeal, and this is a devastating moment for all of them.

The Foreign Office have been in regular contact with the McManus family since Chris's capture. I spoke to them just before Christmas and I have spoken to them again with the news this afternoon.

I want to take this opportunity to thank the Nigerian authorities, and President Jonathan personally, for all they have done to help find Chris, and combat terrorism.

I also want to pay tribute to all those, including UK personnel, who worked so hard to try to bring Chris home safely. I am very sorry that this ended so tragically. I ask that the media respect the family's privacy and allow them time to come to terms with their loss.

Terrorism and appalling crimes such as these are a scourge on our world. No-one should be in any doubt about our determination to fight and to defeat them.

17.50 The Italian government statement is now available.

It reads:

"From the moment of the kidnappings, the Italian authorities closely followed events with their British counterparts."

An "unexpected acceleration" of rescue efforts had got underway in the last few hours and the operation went ahead, carried out by Nigerian troops with British support.

"The prime minister, as well as the government, expresses its profound condolences for the tragic death of engineer Franco Lamolinara".

17.45 More from Nick Squires in Rome:

Mario Monti was told by David Cameron, according to Italian news reports, that the operation was carried out by Nigerian troops, with the operational support of British forces. The Italian PM was reportedly told that "the window of opportunity" to rescue the two hostages was narrowing rapidly and that there were fears that they could be killed by their captors. Mr Cameron expressed "profound condolences" for the death of the Italian hostage.

17.43 Mr Cameron confirmed the pair were killed during a rescue attempt in Nigeria. Mr McManus and Mr Lamolinara were captured in northern Nigeria in May. Mr Cameron said British authorities believed the men's lives were in "imminent and growing danger" and a rescue attempt was mounted by Nigerian authorities with British support. Mr Cameron said it appeared as if both hostages were killed by their captors before they could be rescued.

17.40 The death of the Italian hostage, Franco Lamolinara, was confirmed a short time ago by Mario Monti, the Italian prime minister, reports Nick Squires from Rome.

Reports say the PM was flying between Belgrade and Rome when he received a phone call from David Cameron. Mr Lamolinara was 47 and an engineer from Piedmont in Italy's north-west. Mr Monti has expressed condolences to the family.

David Cameron named the man Christopher McManus who was killed with fellow hostage Italian Franco Lamolinara. It is understood a Special Boat Service operation to free them from al-Qaeda aligned kidnappers failed. Prime Minister Mario Monti said was informed of the hostage conclusion by British PM Cameron in personal telehone call. It is understood between 16 and 20 SBS commandos were involved in the Nigerian-lead operation. All British forces are safe.

17.30 Good afternoon. Here is the latest developments after it was confirmed that British hostage Christopher McManus was killed in a Special Forces operation to free him from al-Qaeda aligned kidnappers in Nigeria.

The people of Lampedusa, Italy are being attacked in their homes. The mayor of Lampedusa has armed himself with a bat in order to protect himself. Muslims have been rioting and attacking locals and police on the island of Lampedusa, Italy since arriving from Tunisia and Libya. More poisonous fruit from the "islamic spring."

The Muslim hordes attacked police Wednesday on the tiny Italian island of Lampedusa, a day after setting their overcrowded holding centre on fire. (Vid hat tip David)

Some 26,000 Tunisians [Muslims] and 28,000 people of other nationalities from Libya have arrived in Lampedusa this year since the beginning of the Arab revolts. Italy has been sending the bulk of the Tunisians home if they don't qualify for political asylum, but residents on the island have complained they are being overwhelmed with migrants and are bearing the entire EU's immigration burden alone.

Clashes broke out Wednesday as some residents hurled stones at migrants who were threatening to blow up some gas canisters, news reports said. Angry residents also assaulted TV crews and other journalists covering the rioting, telling them to leave the island alone.

The clashes left several people injured, the reports said.

Lampedusa mayor Bernardino De Rubeis denounced the government for abandoning the island to cope with the chaos alone, calling the migrants "delinquents" and insisting the island wouldn't accept one more. (more here)

Italy has announced they will transfer and repatriate all migrants off the tiny island of Lampedusa within 48 hours, following clashes with police and residents.

He said he kept a baseball bat in his office for protection.

"I must defend myself," he was quoted as saying by ANSA. "We're at war, people have decided to take justice into their own hands."

He demanded Italian President Giorgio Napolitano come to Lampedusa "to show some solidarity with people who have been violated repeatedly" by the arrival of so many desperate migrants.

A Mediterranean island closer to Africa than the Italian mainland, Lampedusa has been overwhelmed this past spring by thousands of Tunisians fleeing unrest during the social upheaval at home. Tensions flared occasionally, particularly when the holding centre became overcrowded. The centre is designed to hold about 850 people but it now holds up to 1,300.

The Interior Ministry condemned the rioting and vowed to stay the course.

"These episodes of unacceptable violence don't change our repatriation plan, which continues and will not slow down," it said in a statement.

The UN refugee agency warned last week that the situation at the centre was getting tense, with prolonged detentions of both Tunisians and people fleeing Libya without any moves to determine whether they might qualify for asylum.

It said migrants were harming themselves, staging protests and that several large groups had left on their own.

The UN agency urged the government to take measures to transfer the migrants from Lampedusa to more permanent centres.

Julia Gorin has transcribed an explosive audio-visual presentation by Rodney Atkinson — British author, former Ministerial Adviser, and lecturer at University of Mainz in Germany. He gave this speech on February 26, 2008 at a public meeting at the House of Commons, chaired by Philip Davies, MP. Below is his audio-visual presentation based on that speech, with a transcription following.

“The European Union is based on the Nazi plans published in Berlin in 1942.” –Rodney Atkinson

“‘Nazi Leadership Officer’ became first head of the European Commission in 1957.” – Atkinson

“The Nazis and Fascists who founded the European Union and their influence today”

There has been a coup against the people of Britain and those nation-states of Europe which were liberated from Fascism in 1945 and from Communism in 1989. This has been a coup against the sovereignty of the voters, the very definition of democracy. Those who sought to destroy democratic sovereignty knew they could not succeed if they were open about their intentions. And they could not succeed if they attempted their coup within one democratic system. They therefore acted behind the democratic system and across national borders. They established in the European Union a bureaucratic corporatist state so monolithic that most can be intimidated into silence by the very size of the project, and emasculated by the necessary remoteness of the powers involved.

The plans for this essentially fascist process were laid and carried out by, among others, many leading Nazis and Fascists after the second world war, and realized in the European Union today. The fact that many naïve constructors of today’s Europe had good intentions does not mitigate the fact that they have summoned up the hated regimes of the fascist past and created structures built on the ashes of democratic nationhood, all of which coincides with the plans of the very Euroepan fascists they thought they were expunging.

Now that their hitherto secret aim of turning the democratic nation-states of Europe into a gigantic corporatist empire is imminent, the new dictators have grown bold. Now they can act as if the voters do not exist, for they know the voters have no power. Although the European Constitution was thrown out comprehensively by the people of France and the Netherlands, it has been reintroduced in the form of the so-called Lisbon Treaty, and EU governments have been intimidated into avoiding referenda of their peoples. Having blocked such referenda, the European Commission had the unmitigated gall to launch a new initiative under the heading “Debate Europe: Giving Citizens a Voice.” Ninety-five percent of the member states of the European Union denied their peoples the right to vote on the massive loss of democratic rights in the Lisbon Treaty. No wonder that according to Eurobarometer tests of public opinion, only 50% of the people of the European Union now support the European Union at all. Even more disgracefully, the Irish may have changed their minds on Lisbon because they were frightened by the collapse of their economy. How ironic, because that collapse was due to German financial exploitation of their banks and because Irish membership of the Euro prevented them from controlling their own exchange rate and interest rates in a recession. The Lisbon Treaty establishes a new legal country to which EU member states are subservient. It makes future constitutional change possible even without consulting them. It removes the EU’s founding principle of free and undistorted trade. It both bans and then reintroduces the death penalty for riots and upheavals, permits the restrictions of rights and freedoms to serve the interests of the European Union, and allows EU armed forces to enter any country. The Irish, destroyed by the Euro and under intolerable pressure, voted yes to all that. The European Union now knows that all they have to do to finish off the constitutions of EU member states is to finish off their economies first. And frightened voters will then kowtow.

The European Union is based on the Nazi plans of 1941, published as they were in Berlin in 1942. The EU was founded by, among others, leading Nazis and Fascists, as was the Charlemagne Prize, awarded to Tony Blair, Edward Heath, Roy Jenkins and others for their role in removing democratic sovereignty from the nation-states of Europe. As in the 1940s, we’ve witnessed today the breakup of Yugoslavia, and Czechoslovakia and the re-creation of the petty states of Slovakia, Croatia, Bosnia, and Albanian Kosovo. These states were all Nazi allies during the 1940s and each provided Germany with a full Waffen SS division.

Europe’s post-war leaders have repeated virtually word for word the beliefs of the leaders of Fascism in the 1930s an 1940s. For a comprehensive demonstration of the parallels, see my books Fascist Europe Rising and Europe’s Full Circle. The European Union has promoted and funded the ethnic cleansing of a million Europeans in the Balkans, mostly Serbs, Jews and gypsies. From Croatia, Kosovo and Bosnia, realizing the ambitions of fascist organizations in those countries. It is of course the European Union, embraced by both Labor, liberal democrat and conservative parties alike, which has resurrected Croatia, a country with the most blatant fascist traditions in Europe, whose football supporters today form swastikas on the terraces and whose leading pop star calls himself Thompson, after a machine gun used against the Serbs, and whose supporters give Nazi salutes. Croatia was of course guilty of the greatest ethnic cleansing in Europe for decades, when they drove some 300,000 Serbs out of their historic homeland in the Krajina in 1995. The links between Croatian fascists and German Nazis in the modern day is well documented. I quote here from a book Fuhrer-Ex, written by Ingo Hasselbach, a former German neo-Nazi who was intimately involved with German Nazis and Croatian fascists as Croatia fought to break up Yugoslavia throughout the 1990s. In this they have an indirect support of the German Army and the German government, who of course were President Tudjman’s principal backers and the first to recognize the illegally created state of Croatia in 1991. Hasselbach writes:

The then government in Croatia under President Franjo Tudjman was reviving the tradition of the Ustashi and in many other ways honoring the former fascists. Units of the Croatian Army were flying swastika flags and many more were flying the old Croatian fascist symbol. Croatia had become the first European government since World War II to openly embrace these symbols. All of the West German neo-Nazis saw it as a powerful opportunity, but Nero Reisz, the barking anti-Semite from Hesse, was particularly pleased. The problem for him was that there weren’t enough Jews being killed, but Serbs would do.

There are today 27 former nation-states of Europe who have no constitution, no elected government, and citizens who can be arrested and passed from country to country without prima facie evidence of any crime or recourse to the traditional protections of jury trial or habeas corpus. How has this happened and who is responsible?

You only really know a political institution by the kind of people who support it. By that measure alone, the fascist origins of the European Union are difficult to deny. I set out here the names of the prominent Nazis and Fascists of the 1930s and 1940s who then became prominent political leaders of European countries and of the European Union itself, where they helped to construct the European state which rules us today.

He established the Hallstein Doctrine which denied diplomatic recognition to those states which recognized East Germany. He had been a member of many leading Nazi organizations, the most significant of which were the National Socialist University Lecturers Association…where he qualified as a Nazi leadership officer, enabling him to join the army as an officer in 1942. And he was also a member of the National Socialist League for Protection of the Law…Such organizations were not like being a mere member of the Nazi Party. They were central cadres of Nazi rule, to which only the most committed would have been admitted. The French president General De Gaulle summed up Hallstein in the following words: “If Dr. Hallstein is a convinced European, it is because he is first and foremost an ambitious German.”

His ambition during the Nazi period was evident from his intimate involvement in the preservation of Nazi doctrine in universities and the promotion of Nazism in German law.

Walter Hallstein became the first president of the [EU] Commission in 1958. (Visual: Adenauer and Hallstein signing the first EU Treaty in Rome in 1957)

Paul Henri Spaak. Spaak joined the Belgian national government as foreign minister in 1936 and with Henri de Man developed the Belgian National Socialist Party. One of his notable acts was to refuse assistance to the legal Spanish Republican government then locked in civil war with Franco’s Fascists. In 1938, Spaak said, “Some people wish to lead us into a policy of solidarity with the democracies against the Fascist states. I refuse to stick to such a policy. He concluded, “If Great Britain and France want to help Czechoslovakia by invading Germany through Belgium, they will be treated as invaders.” In fact, as the memoirs of Sir Alexander Cadogan, the pre-war British cabinet minister, note, that is exactly how the British forces seeking to defend Belgium against the invading Nazis were treated.

Paul Henri Spaak became one of the EU’s founding fathers and secretary general of NATO.

Walter Funk. Funk joined the Nazi Party in 1931 and promptly became not only Hitler’s personal economic adviser, he was also Reich press chief and minister under Goebbels of the Propaganda Ministry. And finally, he became the Reich’s economics minister in 1938. He was the principal liaison man between the Nazi Party and the large industrialist group from whom he obtained financial and political support on Hitler’s behalf. On the 3rd of December 1938 Funk again advanced the policy of economic extermination by signing a decree which provided that owners of Jewish enterprises could be ordered to sell or liquidate their enterprises. Jews could be ordered to sell and were prohibited from acquiring any real estate. Jews were forced to deposit all stocks, mining shares, bonds and other securities with specially designated banks, and accounts had to be marked “Jewish.”

Funk was convicted at the Nuremberg trials. And on his release in 1957 he was employed by the Lower Saxony Education Ministry, where he helped to propagate the new European economic community to German schools and universities. Although Funk died in 1960, his blueprint for the European economic community, drawn up in Berlin in 1941, is virtually indistinguishable from the structure of today’s European Union.

Hans Josef Globke. By now you’ll have gathered that most of the Nazi functionaries continued in public life, either as officials or as politicians. Dr. [Konrad] Adenauer, Germany’s post-war chancellor, appointed a man called Globke as his state secretary, that is director of the Chancellor’s Office in Bonn. Globke was the man who had drafted the Nuremberg race laws. It was on Globke’s advice that Adenauer made his senior appointments. Globke helped to formulate the emergency legislation that gave Hitler unlimited dictatorial powers in 1933. He had also written a law commentary on the new Reich Citizenship Law, the Nuremberg race laws which revoked the citizenship of German Jews.

After the war, Globke became director of the Federal Chancellery of West Germany, between 1953 and 1963, and as such was one of the closest aides to Federal Chancellor Konrad Adenauer during the plans for and foundation of the European Union. Globke’s key position as a national security adviser to Adenauer and his involvement in anti-Communist activities in post-war West Germany made both the West German government and CIA officials wary of exposing his Nazi past. This led for instance to the withholding of Adolf Eichmann’s alias from the Israeli government and Nazi hunters in the late 1950s, and CIA pressure in 1960 on Life Magazine to delete references to Globke from its recently obtained Eichmann memoirs.

Alcide De Gasperi. The then journalist De Gasperi belonged to that Catholic world of the early days of the Mussolini Regime in Italy with which the Vatican collaborated and maintained close contact. On the day Mussolini came to power, truckloads of nuns paraded through the streets of Rome giving the Fascist salute, which indicates the attitude of the Vatican in which De Gasperi worked in the 1930s. He was librarian in the Vatican as it became the first state to recognize the Nazi regime and sign its notorious 1934 Concordat with Hitler’s Germany.

Even during the Nazi occupation, De Gasperi was involved in intrigues against parts of the Resistance in order to break up left-wing Catholicism and Communist partisans. In 1943 as the war turned against the Fascist powers, De Gasperi tried to reinvent himself by founding the Italian Christian Democrat Party. After becoming Italian president in December 1945, De Gasperi pleaded for an end to the criminal prosecution of Mussolini’s Fasicst supporters. In 1952 he was awarded the Nazi-founded Charlemagne Prize, the principal prize for those constructing the European Union.

Like several aristocratic families and like so many politicians of all parties during the 1930s, the Lady Mosley was charmed by Fascism. Like Lloyd George, she admired Hitler. Like the liberal Lord Lothian or the socialist Arnold Toynbee she would certainly have joined a Nazi-based government of Britain. Like Labor’s Lord Allen of Hurtwood, she would have argued for a little more African colonies for the German Reich. And like conservative Sir Samuel Hoare, she would have tried to get rid of Churchill in order to prevent war. Her husband, Sir Oswald Mosley, founded a Fascist newspaper called The European. Lady Diana Mosley in an interview with the BBC shortly before her death poured scorn on British Euro-skeptics and gave total support to the European Union. Strange that the BBC should so recently interview a lifelong Fascist. But perhaps not, when we consider that the BBC kept Churchill off the air for 28 months, between 1937 and 1939.

Adriana Bolchini is a stunningly courageous anti-jihad fighter in Italy. Elderly and disabled but strong, she was actually rendered disabled by terrorists, and reacted by fully dedicating her time and life to fighting Islamic supremacism. She runs the blog lisistrata.com, named after the ancient Greek heroine, and frequently takes part in anti-jihad activities.

On her site, she reports constantly all the atrocities committed by Muslims worldwide in the name of Islam. In Italy they still have the freedom of speech, at least officially, but there as elsewhere, Muslims are trying their best to silence any criticism of Islam, and using the judicial system to do it.

And so just as I am being sued for $10 million by Rifqa Bary’s parents’ lawyer, Omar Tarazi, a Muslim in Italy is using the courts to try to silence Adriana. Nour Dachan, the former president of the Union of Islamic Communities in Italy (UCOII), an Italian counterpart to the U.S.’s Hamas-tied CAIR, has opened a civil case against her. Italian freedom fighters believe that Dachan has temporarily stepped down from the presidency of the community just to fighting this case as a private citizen and not as an official representative of Muslims in Italy. He is very clever, has a lot of money and, of course, the support of the useful idiots on the left.

Adriana is not afraid to stand against all the odds. The prosecutor seems ill-disposed toward her, but she is not worried. She says: “I have nothing to lose. Dachan has sued me for millions, but what he is going to get from me if he wins is just my wheel chair and my walking sticks, as I own nothing else.” Still, she needs all the emotional support possible, the support that we who love freedom can give to her. She needs to know that she is not alone in her battle for freedom.

I have long called out for action to aid and support the oppressed and subjugated Coptic Christian community in Egypt. So this is most distressing to report .......Atlas reader Paolo was at a Coptic Christian rally in Italy against Islamic genocide of Coptic Christians:

Today January 9th 2011 in the Duomo Square, Milano, Italy, a rally was held by the Copts of Milano along with some supporting Italian organizations; among them there were the Northen Ligue, the "Amo l'Italia - I love Italy", Magdi Allam's party, and ADI (Amici di Israele - Friends of Israel).

Near the end of the gathering, the people from ADI put on their shoulders the Israeli flag. The Copts reacted violently refusing the presence of the Israeli flags. The police had to intervene to separate them and oblige the ADI people to leave the gathering.

Being a friend of Maurizio Turchet, the photographer, I am in picture # 13, with a Citrali hat (the hat used by Osama bin Laden!) that I bought in Peshawar!

I think it's really madness for a persecuted minority to behave like racists towards other minorities which support them, only because they can do it. What a pity!

Clearly, not all Coptic Christians are antisemitic. US Coptic Christian leader Ashraf Ramelah just had several publicly pro-Israel speakers speak in DC; I was among them. Go here to view.

What could these people be thinking? Are they crazy? Do they so fear the Muslims that they will turn on the Jews? Our coalition of Hindus, Sikhs, Christians, Jews, the victims of Islamic ethnic cleansing, must stand together. United we stand, divided we fail.

Factoids (source: In Ishmael's House A History Of Jews in Muslim Lands- Sir Martin Gilbert):

Ironically, it was a Jew, Mark - St. Mark of the Gospels - who converted to Christianity and founded the Coptic Church, introducing Christianity to Africa.

In Cairo in 1343, during a massacre of Christian Copts, the Jews lent the Christians their own discriminatory garments, with the result that the Copts could leave their homes as Jews (dhimmis.)

The Egyptian government which finally won its struggle for independence from the British in 1926, look with hostility at Jewish Zionist aspirations, just as it was hostile to the national identity of its own Christian Copts. Under the first Nationality Code, promulgated on 26 May 1926, Egyptian nationality was only to be for those who belonged racially to the majority of the population of a county whose language is Arabic or whose religion is Islam.'

UPDATE: Thank you Ashraf:

Dear Pamela,Voice of the Copts strongly condemns Coptic action in Milan Italy.The aggression against those who carried Israeli flag is not acceptable and show how certain Copts are brain wash by Islamic doctrine or scared from Egyptian regime.Regards,Dottore Architetto Ashraf RamelahPresident

UPDATE: More support from down under:

Dear Pamela,

I was extremely sad when I became aware of the article relating to Italian Copts.

I am fully aware you have supported the Copts and helped expose our Plight, and we appreciate all your assistance.

As a member of the Coptic Community in Sydney, I stand In full solidarity with our Jewish Brothers and Sisters.I am bitterly disappointed the Italian Copts reacted in such a manner towards the Jewish Community.

I have many wonderful Jewish friends that I hold dear in my heart.I can assure you the Coptic Community in sydney support and stand 100% with the Jewish communityand understand they have their own Plight.

To the member of the Jewish Community I ask you Please dismiss the reaction.As you may be aware the coptic community are grieving and going through a lot of mixed emotions in the aftermath of the new year attack and subsequent lockdown of churches prior to Christmas. Many have lost family and friends and the wounds run deep.

We are all brothers and sisters in humanity and stand united against Islamisation, or Islamic persecution of ANY group around the globe irrespective of their creed.Please excuse them for their inconsiderate action.

I offer a humble and sincere apology if any member of the Jewish community is aggrieved. Ibby

Two Japanese nationals were arrested by Italian customs agents for smuggling what appeared to be 249 half billion note US treasury/Federal Reserve bonds -- a total of 134.5 Billion dollars.

The question is -- are they counterfeit? If they are counterfeit, the point of origin is North Korea. This is what the NORKS do. There number one export (their only export?) is counterfeit merch and money. They are the world's leading counterfeiters; they love printing American money. but this is a whole other thing. Frankly, I never understood why the Americans didn't blow those counterfeiting factories to smithereens years ago (along with their nuclear weapons program).

Milan (AsiaNews) –Italy’s financial police (Guardia italiana di Finanza) has seized US bonds worth US 134.5 billion from two Japanese nationals at Chiasso (40 km from Milan) on the border between Italy and Switzerland. They include 249 US Federal Reserve bonds worth US$ 500 million each, plus ten Kennedy bonds and other US government securities worth a billion dollar each.

Those sound like Bearer Bonds - at least the Kennedy ones do.

We no longer issue those (nor does pretty much anyone else) for obvious reasons - they're essentially money and can be had in VERY large size, making them great vehicles for various illegal enterprises.

But folks: This is $134.5 billion dollars worth.

If they're real, what government (the only entity that would have such a cache) is trying to unload them?

If they're fake, this is arguably the biggest counterfeiting operation ever, by a factor of many times. I've seen news about various counterfeiting operations over the years that have made me chuckle, but this one, if that's what it is, is absolutely jaw-dropping.

The cute part of this is that if the certificates are real Italy just got a hell of a bonanza - their money laundering laws provide for a statutory 40% penalty for failure to declare instruments and cash in excess of $10,000 Euros, which means they'd garner a close-to-$40 billion dollar windfall.

That ought to help their budget problems!

Notice, by the way, that the US Media has totally ignored this story - even though the securities in question are allegedly US instruments.

Gee, I wonder why? Might the authorities know they're real and be just a wee bit nervous that disclosure of a sovereign attempting to covertly dump nearly $140 billion in debt could cause a wee bit of panic, given that we're running nearly $200 billion a month in deficits?

Inquiring minds want to know what's really going on here.

Tee Cee, who sent me the story, wrote:

If the bonds turn out to be fake - here's my very educated take on who, why, what, how:

The two culprits are reported as being "Japanese" citizens. More likely -they are Japanese citizens of Korean ethnicity with connections to communist North Korea (short history - Korean communist movement was hatched and still major-league funded and supported by ethnic Koreans born and raised in Japan (it's a racist "thang you know"): it is practically out in the open knowledge inside Japan - that Japan born ethnic Koreans with ties to communist n. korea send literally -no exaggeration -boat loads of cash made in Japan (by ethnic Korean owned enterprises) to their comrades in n. korea (it is one of the major means of economic support for n. korea)

Communist pals - China and North Korea; likely the communist Chinese allowed some Korean comrades to see/possess US fed reserve/treasury bonds - for counterfeiting purposes; likely they would be splitting any gains if successfully sold to/in euro market and or into swiss bank accounts - for later use

if the bonds are real - similar deal as above (obtained by North Korea, from comrade commies in china, smuggled to Switzerland by ethnic Korean communist Korea sympathizers who hold Japanese citizen ship

if either of above is true - we now know how/what keeps the evil communist dwarf in business

US government securities seized from Japanese nationals, not clear whether real or fakeBonds worth US$ 134.5 billion are seized. This is the largest financial smuggling case in history. But are they real? Concern over ‘funny money’ or counterfeit securities is spreading in Asia. The international press is silent.

Milan (AsiaNews) –Italy’s financial police (Guardia italiana di Finanza) has seized US bonds worth US 134.5 billion from two Japanese nationals at Chiasso (40 km from Milan) on the border between Italy and Switzerland. They include 249 US Federal Reserve bonds worth US$ 500 million each, plus ten Kennedy bonds and other US government securities worth a billion dollar each.

Italian authorities have not yet determined whether they are real or fake, but if they are real the attempt to take them into Switzerland would be the largest financial smuggling operation in history; if they are fake, the matter would be even more mind-boggling because the quality of the counterfeit work is such that the fake bonds are undistinguishable from...

Two Muslims arrested in Italy yesterday wanted to blow up the Milan Cathedral on Christmas. They hoped an attack during the busy holiday would cost dozens of lives. This according to tapped phone calls, reports La Repubblica.

The two belonged to an Islamic terror cell which had been followed by the Italian police already for months. "The plot was discovered yet before the suspects could get explosives," says the Italian minister of Internal Affairs, Roberto Maroni, in response.

Rachid Ilhami (31) and Abdelkader Ghafir (43) were arrested in Giussano, a city 25km away from Milan. The detectives gathered from tapped phone calls and confiscated computer files that the two also prepared attacks on a supermarket and a police bureau. They are arrested on suspicion of terrorism and eventual cooperation with al-Qaeda.

And don't you forget this!! You got that infidels, pigs, apes and dogs!?!

With the multiplicity of terrorist attacks perpetrated recently by deviant and fanatic individuals, the General Secretariat of the Organisation of the Islamic Conference (OIC) has noticed a tendency of a section of the media, to interpose the word "Islam" in reporting these incidences.

Islam, the religion of peace, tolerance and compassion, that sanctifies the human soul, and whose universal message is one of mutual peaceful coexistence among all the peoples of the world, regardless of their ethnicities, race, religions or languages, and which calls for kind reasoning and dialogue with all their fellow human beings, abhors and despises all such criminal acts and had enacted the utmost severe punishment for their perpetrators.

It is frustrating to see some circles, still, maliciously trying to establish conceptual link between such evil and wicked practices and Islam, the religion that condemns, scorns and outlaws them.

It is on the premise of this irrefutable fact that we, in the OIC, call upon all well-intentioned peoples of the world, not to give to these criminals any right to present Islam, a right that Islam itself denies them. Those who refer to the perpetrators, as acting on behalf of Islam, help them by offering them justification, anchor and premise that they don't have or deserve. On the other hand, the generalization of the guilt of a few aberrant misguided individuals, to engulf the adherents of a religion of 1.5 billion followers is an outrageous judgment and amounts to an illegal collective punishment on a global scale. Moreover, any attempt to implicate all Muslims in such a wicked and wanton acts goes contrary to the well established principles of international law.

It is therefore hoped that media will avoid resorting to any reference to Islam when narrating such events in order not to disseminate erroneous information that might jeopardize the basic human rights of Muslims, the world over.
